Marvel and DC aren't the only comic book publishers, and rivals like Amazon and Netflix are commissioning lesser-known properties from other publishers that are already proving to be a hit. Like Amazon's The Boys.

But just how popular is The Boys? Data analytics firm Parrot Analytics provided information to Screen Rant, comparing The Boys to the first seasons of the various Marvel Netflix shows.

The Boys was released in the same way as all four Marvel Netflix shows, with all episodes dropping at once, but it didn't follow the traditional streaming pattern. Instead, interest continued to increase over the next fortnight after release, peaking two weeks later. This is probably related to strong word-of-mouth, but may also reflect Amazon's continued marketing of the series. Surprisingly, demand then remained at an elevated level for much of the first month. It's shown signs of dropping towards a base level now, but that is likely to be far higher than the Marvel Netflix one.

The obvious question is just why The Boys has proven to be so popular. In part, it's just plain good. Also, The Boys season 1 is only eight episodes in length, avoiding all the pacing problems that were associated with Marvel Netflix's 13-episode seasons. The release is also perfectly timed; the superhero genre is far more mainstream in 2019 than it was even in 2015, and superhero tropes have been absorbed into popular culture. The Boys subverts all these tropes in entertaining, original, and occasionally uncomfortable ways. The script adapts a classic comic book story, resetting it as a David-versus-Goliath narrative with a remarkable amount of heart.

The Boys proves that a well-made, well-marketed superhero TV series inspired by a lesser-known brand can still compete -- and even perform better than the inaugural seasons of the Marvel Netflix range.

Game of Thrones grabbed 10 awards at the Creative Arts Emmys on Sunday night, more than any other nominated project. The 2019 Creative Arts Emmy Awards took place over two nights, Saturday and tonight, at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.

GoT wins included an impressive though not unexpected seventh honor for special visual effects. It also dominated the picture editing category, and the award ultimately went to editor Tim Porter for the episode “The Long Night,” which features the epic battle at Winterfell. The sound editing and mixing teams also scored Emmys.

Game of Thrones claimed additional Emmys for makeup in the non-prosthetic category — earning department head Jane Walker her sixth Emmy for the series. Nominated costume designer Michele Clapton also grabbed a sixth Emmy for the series, while assistant costume designer Emma O'Loughlin and costume supervisor Kate O'Farrell now have three apiece.

In other creative arts categories, Game of Thrones won trophies for score, title design and stunt coordination. (via The Hollywood Reporter)

The awards show will air on FXX on Saturday, Sept. 21 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, ahead of the Primetime Emmy Awards telecast on Fox on Sunday, Sept. 22 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

When You Wish Upon A Pickle: A Sesame Street Special from HBO and Sesame Street Workshop, has won for Outstanding Children's Program at the 2019 Creative Arts Emmy Awards which are being presented this weekend in two evenings, Saturday and today, at the Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles.

When You Wish Upon a Pickle was a Sesame Street prime time special that aired on HBO on November 10, 2018. The special helped kick off the 49th season, which began the following Saturday. (via Deadline)

Fans thought they had seen the last of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark when the character was killed off in Avengers: Endgame, but it looks like the actor will return as Iron Man one more time.

In a report on Friday's Saturn Awards, mention was made that Downey Jr. will appear as Stark in next year's solo Black Widow movie. It seemed a bit of a throwaway reveal for what should be fairly major news, so this report might need to be taken with a grain of salt.

ComicBookMovie points out that if this information is accurate, it still doesn't mean the Armored Avenger is going to be resurrected. It's been confirmed that Black Widow is a prequel set between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Endgame. Given the time-frame, Stark showing up does actually make sense.

No other follow-up information has been reported, so stay tuned to DF News for any further developments.

Geeks WorldWide is reporting today that Marvel Studios is actively developing a Silver Surfer movie.

Silver Surfer, AKA Norrin Radd, was created by Jack Kirby and first appeared in Fantastic Four #48 in 1966. His appearance also marked the introduction of Galactus, who devours planets and utilized the Silver Surfer as his Herald.

The Surfer, first appearing in Fantastic Four #48 (1966), then went on to become a major part of the Marvel Universe, assisting the FF, Thor, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and joining the original Defenders. His first and only live-action appearance was in 2007’s Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, played by Doug Jones and voiced by Laurence Fishburne.

No other details were reported.

The Simpsons, Fox TV's long-running iconic comedy toon, has won for Best Animated Program at the 2019 Creative Arts Emmy Awards which are being presented this weekend in two evening ceremonies, today and Sunday, at the Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles. (via Variety)

The Simpsons was created by Matt Groening for Fox. The shorts became a part of The Tracey Ullman Show on April 19, 1987. After three seasons, the sketch was developed into a half-hour prime time show and became Fox's first series to land in the Top 30 ratings in a season (1989–90).

The Simpsons will return to Animation Domination on September 29, 2019.

Seth MacFarlane, creator of Fox's Family Guy, has won for Character Voice-Over Performance at the 2019 Creative Arts Emmy Awards which are being presented this weekend in two evening ceremonies, today and Sunday, at the Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles.

MacFarlane voices three of the show's main characters: Peter Griffin, Brian Griffin and Stewie Griffin. (via Variety)

Deadline reports that Riverdale fans already know some crossover of characters is planned for the CW’s upcoming Katy Keene. But the spin-off’s exec producers and cast teased out a few more details at today’s Tribeca TV Festival panel and pilot screening.

Expect a boxing match. And Pussycats. And Robin Givens.

As for the boxing, one of the regular characters on Katy Keene is K.O. Kelly, Katy’s aspiring boxer boyfriend. In the world premiere of the series pilot-screened today at the fest, K.O. – played by the ultra-ripped Zane Holtz, who makes his first appearance on the show clad only in boxer briefs – expresses his dream to someday spar at Madison Square Garden. (Katy is played by Lucy Hale).

With regard to those Pussycats from Riverdale, even Ashleigh Murray, who is bringing her singer/songwriter Josie McCoy character to the new show from the old, seemed surprised by executive producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa’s reveal that “We definitely will be seeing the Pussycats, but probably not in the way you expect.”

Katy Keene will be set about five years into Riverdale‘s future – in other words, Josie arrives in New York City to share an apartment with Katy and friends five years after her departure from Riverdale. The time shift slightly complicates crossovers, but apparently not enough to prevent at least some of the original series’ recognizable characters from presenting their future selves at Katy’s fourth floor walk-up apartment in Manhattan’s Washington Heights.

And apparently one of those someones will be Givens’ Sierra McCoy, Josie’s Riverdale mom.
